Some slides comparing results, [couldn’t pull out take home message fast enough]. plateu out aroung 30-40% of reads of a lane. [GAII? not sure.]

Sampling is difficult, you don’t know if you’re capturing the whole population, but what you see caps out at 30-40%.

Random primer construction- does it work? Compared 6 different strategies. [No take home message that I heard.]

Does more sample = more viruses, maybe. You don’t need huge amounts of sample.

Virus families captured by random primers: many of them. [I’m not listing, but there’s a difference by which primers are used.]

Data section:

Viral familyies detected in 4 subjects. Patterns starting to emerge. [I can’t see them, though] Both DNA and RNA viruses detected. Hits need to be verified. Are these colonizing, or are they just “passing through”.

Phage: 48 phages in 1st pass query against database. Phage population can give you info about the microbiome.
